It is quick to list 5 games, and also quick to read the short posts. If I find one game I haven't played, or am even just reminded of one I forgot about, it was well worth the effort.
Edit: Screwed up the quote.

Dude, I've just spent the last 30 minutes doing the exact same thing! That is fricken spooky!
-
:cheers:
So what are you hiding from today? It is 102 degrees today, so I am waiting for it to cool off a bit before I go out and work on my games. Let me know if I messed anything up on the list.
-
I'm supposed to be mowing. It's actually very nice out. I should be working....
The list looks great. I was thinking while I was typing them in that I wished you had asked for a top 10. We could have maybe got a bigger variety of games. Oh well, it's still pretty neat seeing all the games you do have.
I don't think there has ever been a top 25/50 BYOACer's list ??? :dunno
Did you do this in a spreadsheet?
-
Nope, that would have been way too efficient. I just pasted everything into a text file and used find to count how many of each, then delete as I went.
-
I don't think there has ever been a top 25/50 BYOACer's list ??? :dunno
Here's a list from 5 years ago.
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=19363.0

1. defender
2. ultimate mk3

4. street fighter 4
5. ikaruga

Although, as like many have said, there are many more...
-

2. Super Street Fighter II: Turbo
3. Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp
4. Killer Instinct
5. Cadash

Wow, never saw that one. :applaud: Should be a way to integrate the two...
I still don't understood the love for Galaga. Don't get me wrong it's a classic for sure, just never appealed to me for some reason.

The old original post is updated with the top 100, it would probably take quite a bit of work to list the other 220 though.
When I was a kid, I really liked Galaxian, and didn't care much for Galaga. Now it is reversed and Galaxian jut seems really slow and boring to me. Gyruss may be even better than Galaga, I haven't quite made a decision on those two yet.
-
No particular order:
Rastan
Rampart
Missile Command
Rodland
Cameltry
It's too hard picking only 5 games, next time my list might look completely different. :)
-
Dig Dug
Space Harrier
Double Dragon
Ikari Warriors
SFII
Ridge Racer
Give me another 5 and I can do a better list.
These are in no particular order.
-
This week I've been mostly playing...
Tempest
outrun
pacman
ghouls n ghosts
bombjack
It'll be different by tomorrow tho!
-
here is my list:
1. Killer Instinct 2 (ultraaa comboo )
2. MK3
3. SFIII : 3rd strike
4. Puzzle Bobble 2
5. 1944: The Loop Masters
:soapbox:
-
I'm actually surprised more people didn't have Gauntlet in their top 5. For me, that game was incredible when it was released....
-
Camaltry is AWESOME! I play it with my 360° steering wheel which works quite well. I sometimes wonder what it would play like with an actual spinner...but then I would likely have to get one and the wife wouldn't like hearing about a CP rebuild :laugh2:
-
1) Gauntlet/Gauntlet II (if of course you knew the trick to survive food starvation with 4 credits).
2) Street fighter 2 series (Super SF2 Turbo).
3) Probably Ms. Pac-man (since pacman is all about pattern memorization unless you don't follow patterns (impossible on 9th key+).
Of course, the problems on MAME with *all* of the unthrottled SF2 games still haven't been fixed. (SF2 hyper fighting, Super SF2 turbo and Hyper SF2 (Anniversary) all run too fast.
I have to check on #capcom to see what the tournament setting for Alpha 3 was....
-
I'm surprised noone said:
MK
MKII
MK3
UMK3
MK4
:laugh2:
HAHA I almost posted that, but UMK3 is the greatest game ever.
-
Space Wars
Rip Off
Armor Attack
Space Duel
Eliminator
I guess I really prefered the vector games that I could play with or against another live person. I wasn't much for single player...other than Major Havoc, Lunar Lander, and a little Asteroids mixed in...those would be next on my list. :cheers:
-
1. Super Punch-Out
2. Punch-Out
3. Street Fighter II
4. Ikari Warriors
5. Super Dodge Ball
That isn't an objective list of course; those are just my personal favorites. An objective list would probably be more like:
1. Pac-Man
2. Donkey Kong
3. Defender
4. Space Invaders
5. Street Fighter II
That would be judging from sales/popularity/impact (on the industry and cultural). I don't happen to find any of those games particularly fun however (with the exception of SFII of course).
-

Indeed Cameltry is kick-ass! I play it with a regular 2 1/4" trackball and it works perfectly. I'd never played it (neither heard of it) until I randomly stumbled across it a couple of months ago. It's awesome and has great replay value trying to beat your own times. :)
-
1. Street Fighter II World Warrior/Champions Ed./Hyper Fighting
2. Shinobi
3. Gauntlet
4. Double Dragon
5. X-Men (6 player cabinet version)
-
1) Street Fighter II Series.
2) Mortal Kombat II
3) Killer Instinct
4) Simpsons Arcade
5) Ka-Ge-Ki (a guilty pleasure, to be sure)
Those are the ones I immediately remember from my childhood (b.1980)
-
Marble Maddness
Guntlent
TMNT
Daytona USA
Track & Field
-
Wow...so incredibly hard to limit to just 5, not to mention most of us have favorites from different eras, but the top 5 games I still like to play today, as much as I did back in the day are:
1) Crazy Climber
2) Gravitar
3) I-Robot
4) Tempest
5) Stargate
Honorable mentions: Tron, Mario Bros., Robotron, Joust, Venture, Rampart, Qix, Rolling Thunder, Sinistar, Combat, Rally-X, Atari Mini-golf, Toobin, Warlords and on and on and on...
-
Defender
Spy Hunter
Battlezone
From there, it changes from time to time. Right now, I tend to MAME Centipede and Warlords quite a bit.
-
1. Strider
2. Vs. Excitebike
3. Galaga
4. Tempest
5. Gravitar
-
This is more based on the games I played the most back in the day:
1942
BombJack
Scramble
Donkey Kong
Commando Choplifter
-
- Donkey Kong
- Ms. Pacman
- Dig Dug
- Centipede

i know.. i'm old school and those are my top 5, but i can't just stop there. here's the rest i'd like to have in my own private arcade.
- Pengo
- Gauntlet
- Crystal Castle
- Jungle King
- Moon Patrol
- Missile Command
- Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
- Q-Bert
- Defender
- Popeye
- Kangaroo

-
Mushihime-Tama
Mortal Kombat 2
Bang Bead
Metal Slug X
Frogger
- not necessarily in that order! ;)
-
1) Too
2) hard
3) to
4) make
5) choices!
No way I could name a favourite, as if you took any away I'd lose too many memories. Up there would definitely be though:
Killer Instinct (Only the first, not the cack sequel)
Every 4-player co-op brawl (Turtles, Simpsons, Vendetta et al)
Every 2-player co-op brawl (Final Fight, Golden Axe, Double Dragon etc.)
Most vs. fighters (SF2, MK series, though strangely I know not the KOF series)
WWF Wrestlefest
Nope soz, can't even narrow this down...
-
Bomb jack
Metal slug
Gyruss
Track n field
Crystal castles
-
Changed my mind...
1) Tumble Pop
2) Bombjack
3) Street Fighter II
4) Pac Man
5) Knights Of The Round
-
1. Track and Field
2. Champion Wrestler
3. Joust
4. Shuffleshot
5. Frogger
-
Killer instinct 1
killer instinct 2
Tekken Tag
